Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine filling ingredients. Cook and stir until thickened, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to 1/8-in thickness. Cut half of the dough with a floured 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Cut second portion with a 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  4. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. To assemble, spread bottom of solid cookies with filling; top with cutout cookies. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.
